the problem is legislating a test that is very subjective- the point I made
at the Baord meeting is that if my intent was to blow up dogs I could do so
by stalking them- I have heard horror stories about Judges, many of whom are
specialty Judges and some Judges have seen my last entry- these are not
unsound dogs but unsound Judges in my opinion- I fear that there is not an
objective manner to police the situation-Kris

I agree with Kris. Mandating a step-by-step test to be used by judges who
do no understand correct GSD temperament (and in many cases are afraid of our
breed) will be most damaging to our breedâ??s reputation and our dogs. I have
seen (and reported the incident to the List) when judges use their bizarre
interpretation of the temperament test to "break" a dog. Education of these
judges would be the ideal remedy. However, the reality is that it is up to
them to get this education and most are not interested.
